Disturbing But P-O-W-E-R-F-U-L!
If I were not already a Christian, after seeing this film, I would have *run* to Jesus and thrown myself at his mercy for the forgiveness of my sins and eternal salvation.
I liked the Way Of the Master type interviews "Liz" conducts as she tries to find the way to heaven. Over and over again (except for one person who answers correctly), she gets the same responses to her question: Being a good person, living a moral life, even, "Who cares?", instead of trusting in what Jesus Christ did for us when he shed his blood and died on the cross as full payment for our sins. Typical, just as in real life. Typical of *myself* before my own conversion recently.
God was gracious to "Liz", and gave her something that people in real life (though I could be mistaken) never get: Being told the exact day and time of our death--not to mention the extra time to come to our senses and repent of our sins. But like people in real life, she blew it. She blew off her one chance to be reconciled to God and to receive his grace and free gift of eternal life. And it's in *this* life we get that one chance. After (physical) death, comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27).
While it's true that some of these films don't have the best acting or lighting or whatever, is not the point. Forgiveness of sin and salvation through faith in Christ alone are.
